Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-13 23:00 +0000
The Merrimack school district is in the middle of a storm. Parents and residents are demanding better from the people in charge of running their school system. Please read Part 1, Part 2, and Part3.

Following a Once-Lively Economic Canary Into the Climate Cult’s Poisonous Coal Mine

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-13 21:00 +0000
Germany’s once-envied efficient economy is in freefall, and the climate change cult and European Green Deal are directly to blame. State policies subsidizing EVs and other products, shutting down coal and nuclear plants, and mandating forced conversion to untested, unimplemented “renewables” resources for energy have decimated industrial efficiency. Industries and blue-collar jobs are fleeing Germany ... Read more

Reactivating Dormant Subscribers: A Workflow Blueprint

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-13 19:05 +0000
A clever type of campaign you can launch with your email list is to try and reactivate those who have yet to engage in some time. Inactive subscribers are those who were once part of your email list but either haven’t opened in some time or engaged. The nice thing about inactive subscribers is that ... Read more

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-13 19:00 +0000
After describing the numerous problems in the Merrimack schools with their science and SEL programs, now is a good time to look at one of the English Language Arts programs used in the school. Oddly enough, it was mentioned during the budget committee meeting that Merrimack chose three E/LA programs for the students. One of ... Read more

Maine Dems Realize They Can’t Complete The Grift

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-13 17:00 +0000
Democrats in elected office tend to get bullied into doing what leadership wants, or they get primaried. Using New Hampshire as an example, it has long been the practice of House leadership on the Left to bully and intimidate members who won in more moderate districts to leap left or get the f out. For ... Read more

Time To Suspend Foreign Aid And Take Care Of Our Own

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-13 15:00 +0000
America and Americans are the most generous on Earth. The government is generous on our behalf, spreading our tax dollars around the globe, and thousands of churches and charities rely on the generosity of giving Americans. Over 170 countries receive more than $70 billion every year, and this is from an America that is in ... Read more

New Legislation Could Claw Some of Your Privacy Back

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-13 13:00 +0000
Longtime readers may recall a pair of stories in 2023 regarding state laws and convenience stores scanning the barcodes on people’s driver’s licenses. The outlets had foregone looking at the front to confirm the age for cigarette and alcohol purchases, instead scanning the barcode on the back to pull in that and a pile of ... Read more

Gambling On Education

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-13 11:00 +0000
Gambling, for most people, is a voluntary activity, a choice.  Why does the state force the rest of us to gamble on education? When gambling, players know the basic odds before playing, and accept that the house has an advantage.  They put money up front and depend on chance (in a fair game) to let ... Read more

Universal EFA’s Will Lead To Less Education Freedom, Higher Taxes

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-13 03:00 +0000
Republicans went from “EFAs will help low-income, urban kids get out of failing public schools” to “Universal School Choice” so fast, I’m not sure what happened to the so-called conservatives.  Political pressure? Are any of you voters asking hard questions or understanding the program enough to truly support Republicans removing the income requirement? Taxpayer funded ... Read more

When Will Hartford Learn?

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-01-13 01:00 +0000
Despite the massive shift to the right in Vermont the town of Hartford managed to hold the line on voting for progressives this past election.  Perhaps the bluest state in the union, Vermont, is now solidly purple after seeing the Senate go from a 22(D)-7(R) supermajority to a nearly dead even 16(D)-13(R) chamber.  Even more ...

Jimmy Carter Endorsed Pete Hegseth for SecDef On His Deathbed?

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-01-12 23:00 +0000
I had heard several times during the broadcast that Jimmy Carter planned every detail of his funeral. Being a micro-manager, I doubt that he would have left this detail, the front page of the order of events, to anyone else: Indeed! The Left and the mainstream media (but I repeat myself) hate any religious mentions ... Read more

Will Queen Sharon Follow the Speaker’s Example?

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-01-12 21:00 +0000
Not only are they fellow Londonderry locals, but the Senate President and the Speaker are each other’s “other side of the wall” counterparts in leadership.  Anyone well versed in NH civics knows that the former is an office of higher prestige than the latter.  Rep Moffett even pointed out who’s next in line to become ...

If Canada Becomes a US State…

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-01-12 19:00 +0000
Trump is saying a lot of things about the Panama Canal, Greenland…and, of course, Canada. Frankly, while he may be more than just “Trumping” a bit here, and trolling denizens in those areas (he’s certainly riled up most of the EU elite talking about Greenland), I think this talk is directed at someone else. I’ll ... Read more

Teachers: “We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Standards”

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-01-12 15:00 +0000
Almost any professional profession (sorry, just HAD to do that!) has standards that they have to follow, especially if they want some letters after their names (e.g. RN, MD, PE, CPA, PMP, CEH {heh – Certified Ethical Hacker! Really, it’s a “thing”}, AWS, CSCP). Study hard and take the exams (sometimes, multiple times, like trying ... Read more

NOLA Police Chief Prolly Happy LA Has An Incompetent Mayor and Fire Chief

Anne Kirkpatrick got the ass end of the cybersphere handed to her on New Year’s Day and for several days following it. She looked like another clueless diversity hire, a problem she failed to resolve – much like Plan B (Kamal Harris) – by opening her mouth and speaking. People died, and her response didn’t ...
